simply setting these
my.ambient = 10;
my.albedo = 100;

wont do anything of course because this is a shader.. the normal directx material properties have no meaning for shaders. you would need to code the into the shader the lighitng properties.





I know that. That is why I added these lines:
Code:
 
float4 vecSunDiffuse = float4(200.f/255.f, 200.f/255.f, 200.f/255.f, 1.f);
float4 DoSunLight(float3 N)
{
// modulate the sunlight by the surface angle
return vecSunDiffuse * dot(N,-vecSunDir);
}

...

Out.Color = vecSkill41.w + DoSunLight(N);

... The sunlight is calculated in the vertex shader but not even applied in the pixel sahder ...




Yes, I was forgoting to put this: "FinalColor *= In.Color;" inside the pixel shader. With this I can see some ambient, but what I need is to be able to change it by the terrain ambient value.

... and there are no pointlights calculated at all...




What do you mean by pointlights? Maybe dynamic lights? If so, I am not there yet.
